You must use --clean --purge to get rid of any old generated key (as stated by 
nxsetup --help), and nxsetup will not overwrite excisting keys (I think this is 
undocumented :( ).
Please retry using nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key --clean --purge

Not if you do use --setup-nomachine-key. When you don't you'll have to copy the 
generated key from the server to the client.

It should, if all required dependancies is installed (ssh, expect, netcat, 
libjpeg, libpng, zlib and ofcourse x11) and your sshd allows publickey 
athentification. ("PubkeyAuthentication yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config)
If sshd does not allow password authentification ("PasswordAuthentication no" in 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config) you'll have to add your users to passdb (nxserver 
--adduser) or add the nx user to the wheel/users group and enable su 
athentification (ENABLE_SU_AUTHENTICATION="1" in node.conf), but if that was the 
problem you would get another (similar) error.

There is also some unresolved issues with using the 1.5.0 client, and the 1.5.0 
backend on the server is not supperted at all, though that should give you 
different errors.
Anyway, could we know what versions is involved here (version of FreeNX, the nx 
backend and the client).
